Busy Little Bee

I spent my weekend getting stuff done. It doesn't feel like I did a lot, but looking back, I think I actually used it well. Yesterday, my Mom and I put together shelves she bought to flank the fireplace to hold DVDs and knick-knacks. It was more of a chore to put the DVDs on the shelves than to put it together. I also made a trip to the post office to mail the dotee's for the swap I was in. One girl received and said it was a "very unusual dotee." Makes me think I did it wrong. Still, I need to make two more since my mom and a co-worker wants one. Here's a photo:










I also made it to Target where I picked up a nice dark grey trench coat. I love how it feels. Made out of nylon or a mixture of. Mom and I watched "The Lightening Thief" when we got home, and it was amazing. I highly recommend that movie. I've read the books and it stuck with the books well.

Today, I finally got to stay home. I think it was the first time in weeks where I didn't go anywhere or have an appointment. I didn't put on make up and I didn't have to impress anyone.

I joined Nanowrimo, but I haven't written in three days. I have never been able to finish, and I've written more than I have in the last three years combined, so it's already a success in my eyes.

Today I spent time working on working on home improvements. I replaced the doorknob to the bedroom, so now it locks. I completely destroyed the handle to get it off. It would have been easy, but that was probably an original and it was painted so many times it stuck to it.













Then I spent the next few hours emptying the bedroom and preparing it for painting. I even replaced my sheets and had my bed made, all by midnight. Now I'm celebrating that I actually did something by watching "Atlantis". Then I'll go to bed because I'm supposed to be up early to meet some peeps for lunch. I just hope I can wake up rested.
